Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I cleanse my face?

It is generally recommended to cleanse your face twice a day: once in the morning to remove overnight impurities and prepare your skin for the day, and once in the evening to remove makeup, dirt, and pollutants accumulated throughout the day. Over-cleansing can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness or increased oil production.

What is the best way to determine my skin type?

To determine your skin type, cleanse your face thoroughly and wait for about an hour without applying any products. Then, observe your skin: if it feels tight and flaky, you likely have dry skin. If it appears shiny all over, you have oily skin. If it's oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) but normal or dry elsewhere, you have combination skin. If it feels balanced and comfortable, you have normal skin. Sensitive skin often reacts easily to products or environmental factors.

Are natural ingredients always better for my skin?

While natural ingredients offer numerous benefits and are often preferred for their gentle nature, it's important to remember that 'natural' doesn't always equate to 'better' or 'hypoallergenic'. Some natural ingredients can still cause allergic reactions or sensitivity in certain individuals. Conversely, many synthetic ingredients are perfectly safe and effective. The key is to choose products with well-researched ingredients, whether natural or synthetic, and always patch-test new products.

How long does it take to see results from a new skincare routine?

Patience is key when starting a new skincare routine. Skin cell turnover takes approximately 28 days for adults, so it typically takes at least 4-6 weeks to see noticeable improvements. For concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation, it might take even longer, sometimes 2-3 months. Consistency in application is crucial to achieving the desired results.
